Kerry: We don't have any finances. I'm investing my time freely. Maybe I should be keeping track of my hours? I need a business model to support others running this. I would like to be a non exec. I'm thinking a not for profit. Funded by CSR donations from corporates, bequests and participation fee from entrants (customers.)

Re above questions:
"Payment for time"--Meaning is a real payment for time. It may be the strongest attractor. The trick is to increase the ration of Meaning/Time or efficiency of effectiveness.
Resources include more than money, people, goodwill, and materials being key resources. Also gaining clarity about finance and measurement are key to this sphere. I see progress in each of these areas so I select "yellow" cautious, in this case optimism since the enterprise is moving from urgent toward balance.
